Looking for HP34401a_32.dll

[John242424]

When looking into creating custom step types in Test Stand,  the help files direct you to an example: HP34401a_StepTypeExample.seq. When I try to look at one of the custom steps an error is thrown saying it is looking for a dll HP34401a_32.dll. Anyone have a copy of this or know where I can get one?

Hi,

You will find it in TestStand\Examples\StepTypes\.. 

You will have to follow the readme files to move components into the correct locations. Then when you done that, launch the SeqEditor.

Hope this helps

Ray,

   Thanks for the advise but, I know where the folder is and I've looked there. In fact, I did a complete file search and HP34401a_32.dll doesn't exist on my machine anywhere. I also read the readme file and, unless I missed something, I've done everything correctly and there is nothing that I can see that needs to be done to either create this missing dll or stoping HP34401aStepType.dll from looking for it. I even used a third party tool that checks dependancies for .dlls and .exes and it also shows HP34401aStepType.dll needing HP34401a_32.dll to run. I guess I  could try to open the project in CVI and see if I can find any answeres there. Are you actually able to open this example and edit the HP34401a step type?

Thanks in advance,

John

John,

No you are probably right.

You probably haven't got the instrument driver installed on your system.

Try here for the driver, http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.model_page?p_model_id=978

You should end up with the dll in c:\VXIPNP\Bin....

Yep, it's there now! Thanks Ray. I think I installed the first three drivers with no luck. That is when I stopped and posted my question.
